Matics from Kabuki Helps

I was provided with free product for this review and giveaway.

All opinions expressed are my own.

My 3 1/2 year old loves numbers. You know how when you put kids to bed and they get up and ask for another drink of water or an extra back scratch? Well, she does that too. But just as often she gets up and says things like, "Mommy. I didn't know that four plus four is eight…" She just has a busy mind and recently it's been full of math facts!

We were super excited to be asked by the team at Kabuki Helps to try out a fantastic math game called Matics. Matics is a math card game that grows with your child! The rules of the game change based on the age and skill level of the child. You could use the cards for number recognition, counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and more!

My 3 1/2 year old and I play the game as follows… We each have a pile of cards face down. On the count of 3, we each turn over a card. Her job is to identify the two numbers and then figure out which is the higher number and then the person with the highest number keeps the cards. It's so much fun, but it's a brain workout for her and we usually make it through one and a half games before she starts saying she's tired… which is a good sign, in my opinion! We've also tried playing by turning over two cards at a time, adding them together, and using that total to determine who has the highest number. This is obviously a little trickier and brainpower-consuming for her (I think we made it through two turns!) but it would be perfect for a slighter older child. I love the fact that this game will never sit dusty on a shelf somewhere because no matter what my child's math skill level is at the time, we can adapt it.

The Matics card set comes in a gel case. The cards are very high quality. They are colorful and simple with basic designs that help with counting if needed.
